“This year there are not so many top free agents available,” MacTavish said. “The guys who would normally be secondary targets are now the primary targets. It’s a good year to be a UFA.”

MacTavish said he’d ideally like to add two or three players through free agency and one or two more through trades. One area they need a lot of help is on defense where most of their high-end talent is very green.

MacT you are a scumbag… Like all the others convicted for manslaughter while driving under the influence and killing someone….I guess your punishment is living in Edmonton… Keep your pie hole shut

Well said friend about this ‘convicted’ murderer. You know, I’ve always agreed with the old adage that says ‘the eyes are the ‘true’ portal to a person’s soul’. And in that context, I contend that all it takes is one ‘brief’ glance at the enclosed photo to appreciate what MacTavish is really all about. For he is evil and rotten to the core and it’s a shame that the Oilers are either afraid or unwilling to do ‘that’ which now needs to be done.

Not much love from anybody here for the Oiler’s is there? Guess the good ole #99 days are gone AND long forgotten! Keep the faith Oiler fans – If the Av’s can turn things around – you will too eventually…
